I agree except PET doesn't smell bad like abs. PET is a bit more flexible too

Has anyone tried the new filaments on the makerfarm website? I received two spools of pla from their "new manufacturer" (imagine that 3d) and thought the quality was amazing. The previous spools of...

I've had the similar problems when printing the first layer too fast as well

It looks like my problem is with the G29 command. When I do a G28 command everything works as should be. Then when I do a G29 right after the z axis moves DOWN about 5mm and then move over to the...

Hello Ive been using ABL for months now and it has been working flawlessly. I just changed my hot end out for a different one that happens to be much longer. Since the new hot end is longer than my...

Where is the filament from? I bought two cheap pla rolls off of amazon a while back that jammed repeatedly on me. I ended up throwing them out and went back to using my makerfarm pla which has never...

Eh in my opinion things just don't seem radically different. Things I've noticed to be better include slicing speeds, support structures, infill patterns, and part manipulation. Overall I'm happy...

I honestly haven't seen anything too radically different in this update. The last version worked great and this new version works great as well but has some new small features here and there....

Figured out my jamming problem. My part cooling fan was blowing air over a part of the heated extruder tip and this caused the jamming. Looks like I'll have to model up a better fan shroud now....

Yeah I know what purging is... I was just curious if anyone did anything special when swapping filaments

When I pull it out fully heated it leaves a lot of filament in the extruder near the heated nozzle end. Having it a bit lower than its melting temp allows for it all to stick together and be removed...

Does anyone do anything special when they switch between filaments?
I usually heat the extruder up about half way and pull out the filament by hand. This seems to bring out most or all of the...

Wow very interesting find but do you always use this nozzle setting for every print or just ones with two thin walls?

Thanks Sniffle what you said worked. I hooked up a different wireless adapter that is 450Mbps and I am still experiencing choppy movements. The image quality does look better though. Ill let this...

I just got octoprint and am not sure which serial port or baud rate to choose from. Ive tried setting both to auto but that just says connecting but never connects. Im using a rambo board but not...

Also post a pic of what your trying to print

Ive just recently started printing in pla and have been using the C42's extended fan shroud with the makerfarm fan. It doesn't blow a lot of air over the printed part but I haven't noticed any print...

In the auto bed leveling section try removing the decimals of #define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 30.00 and #define Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 9.90 so that they are 30 and 10

Can you post your configuration.h so we can take a look at it?

Maybe you were printing too fast and the small 0.25 opening couldn't keep up. Have you noticed a difference in quality between the 0.25 and 0.40?

I've noticed that on large prints in the x and y direction the z axis doesn't move fast enough to compensate for the unlevel bed. This is noticeable when the nozzle moves full speed across the part...

OK so I found the solution to this problem is anyone is interested... I was using 3 different G code files saved onto my SD card to test out the new firmware I had installed. When I stuck my SD card...

Ok I gave that a try and it worked but how would I adjust the esteps then?

Still cant get this Z height to move down to the bed.... Could this be an eeprom issue? Ive read that some people had to disable it to get their ABL working

Do you mean this line? #define Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -4.34
Here is my configuration.h:
